Russia invades Russia: Russian nationals with "Liberty of Russia Legion" and "Russian Volunteer Corps" militias take over portions of Belgorod region.

Lots of conflicting reports, not much good footage. This has been developing over the last 24 hours or so.

Belgorod region is right on the border to Ukraine, and contains central town by the same name.

Supposedly they crossed in from Ukraine, quickly overran the meager defenses and border stations, took control of armored vehicles, and proceeded to "liberate" portions of the region. Explosions were reported in the town of Belgorod as well. Ukraine claims no knowledge or involvement. Russia calls them Ukrainian saboteurs and terrorists. They appear to all be Russian citizens, not Ukrainians. No reliable info on their numbers.

Rumors have been floating around of declaring an independent Belgorod People's Republic and holding referendums shortly. Seems unlikely, given the small scale of the operation at the moment.

Russia has been holding emergency meetings. Shelling has been reported in the region. A lone helicopter was seen flying over the city, but all it did was drop decoy flares and leave.

I hope these militias don't belong to Jewish oligarchs, like it happened in Ukraine.

Everything belongs to jewish oligarchs, my Russian friend. Even you.

this is bs, more likely these ppl are western funded through and through

[ - ] GloryBeckons [op] 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 25, 2023 21:55:01 ago (+0/-0)

About as Western funded as the DPR and LPR rebels were Putin funded.

Don't you think it would be fair to put it that way, to tell the full story and keep things in context?

the funding didnt help much because the russians where being shelled for 8 long years and the militias stayed in their areas while the ukranians have been inside russia proper murdering people a la carte

there was some context for you right there and i got more to say

???

Did you watch the videos they put out, like the two I linked in the OP? They are clearly Russians. No hint of Ukrainian accents. Even the Russian state and its media acknowledges that these are "known individuals", ie dissident citizens of Russia.

Not to mention the shameless fucking audacity to speak of "ukrainians inside russia proper murdering people a la carte", when hordes of Russian invaders have been inside Ukraine proper, looting and raping and murdering, a la carte, for the past year and a half.

Nigger, please.

Which I acknowledged, didn't I? Just like DPR and LPR were propped up by Russia.

By doing what? Defending themselves against exactly the same kind of situation? Which Russia also responded to by shelling the region? Don't be a hypocrite.

Of course the situation is a little different. This is just a few dozen men, instead of a full scale rebellion like the one Russia funded in Ukraine. This has been going on for only a few days, rather than 8 years. And these guys haven't shot down any civilian airliners, murdering 300 innocent people in the process.

But somehow Russia is the victim in your mind. Poor little Russia, getting a tiny taste of her own medicine.

the real victims are the people of the donbas that went through hell for 8 years. not only that the ukrainian govt prohibited them to speak their mother language and their russian orthodox christian tradition.

your cock comedian is not a democrat is a wanna be dictator. there's no freedoms of the press and of the speech in your precious ukraine which btw is one of the most corrupt countries in the world alongside with russia.

i dont care for the russian govt i only care for its people. 70 years of communism and then oligarchy keeps them living in very bad economic conditions okay.

btw, this so called war is more than ukraine vs russia is more about the resources of the region (UKR was a top exporter of wheat and in some areas has special minerals) but even aside from that this whole is a diversion from the CONvid fiasco and other issues that are plaguing humanity right now.

its a clever ruse that they use while they are changing the economic and socio political landscape of the whole planet. if you cant see that. welp there's nothing that i can do for you.

changes are coming and most of it will be pretty unpleasant for many.

You're probably right, Russian shill #735921. That or retreat. They don't seem to have the numbers to hold it.

It's still hilarious that they made it as far as they did, with what appears to be around 100 men or so. Shows how defenseless and weakened Russia is right now. Spread too thin from attacking to even defend its own border. From its own citizens. On the border to Ukraine, no less. Perhaps highlighting that was the only purpose of this. Can't think of many other reason to do this without a substantially larger force.

It cost them 39 men, and they were pushed back to Ukraine.

That's true, Russian shill #533027. Well, Russian men. But still. It appears they were some of the rare good Russians. Plus however many of the regime loyalists they managed to kill on their way out, which will of course be a state secret until the end of time.

Your perception of the world could benefit by watching videos of events. Events like a column of Ukrainian and western combat vehicles, with soldiers wearing Ukrainian uniforms. Have you even looked at the "rare good Russians" as they prepared to attack?

Or not. Feel free to believe anything that strikes your fancy.
